Exposure
Always a lesson to be won
The constant reminder of what I’ve become
Forever stuck with this despair
The pain of a lesson I’ll never share
One nail to drive into my skin
Further from hatred when I let it in
One thousand piercing little thoughts
Exposing the acid of the hurt I’ve caught
I can’t recall the dreams of life
To want something true turns it into night
More lies when more is yet to come
Where nobody speaks and we have to run
I’ll try to find a way to breathe
Leading me to the one I think may see
And then it all returns to dust
As though the cycle just wants to kill my love
The sun will burn away what’s real
Breaking me down until I just can’t feel
And then the lesson always comes
Taking me further away from the dying sun
